Marmite!
If you're a mum with a very faddy eater, you'll know that its quite difficult at times trying to break through the rigidity that can affect food intake in youngsters with autism. Food can be quite a sensory issue with flavours and tastes that are particularly strong, proving difficult when it comes to trying to get the youngster to try new foods. One of my boys had a very strong gag reflex when he was younger. With a lot of perseverance, he's doing much better so a word to any parent out there experiencing these challenges, please don't give up because it will improve over time. Max doesn't have a gag reflex but can be rigid in food choices. He didn't used to be but this has developed as he has become older. However, we've just discovered that he likes Marmite! Who knew??
